On Air Now!

December 4, 1996

December is a special month for Thailand. On the 4th of December every year, more than ten thousand of Thai people from all over the country enter His Majesty the King's Chitralada Villa, Dusit Palace in order to convey their birthday wish to His Majesty. In return, his Majesty greets and talks to the people for more than two hours. The so-called "grand meeting" is televised nationwide, with millions of viewers in Thailand listening to His Majesty's talk.
